Hi all,
I had a really great interaction with Nick Smolinske of Rogue Panda Designs a few weeks ago in the Gear Deals forum. He’s a Bikepacking bag manufacturer, and makes ultralight and custom-fit bags for the spaces in a mountain bike for those who want to, but can’t backpack (me).
Well, I recently received my framebag and I am just thrilled. It’s a well-made product and his communication, turnaround time, and price were all excellent. I wrote a review for it on my blog, linked below. Nick was kind enough to also post a comment himself in that post, so I encourage you to scroll to the bottom and check that out, too.
Nice to see this from a cottage manufacturer. If you’ve been thinking about custom work for this application, this looks like your guy.
